Breaking Down the Wild Ending of ‘The Wonderfools’

Published:

In order to stop the blimp, Chae-ni suggests Ro-bin use his super-strength to throw herself and Kyung-hoon up onto the blimp. Kyung-hoon will use his stickiness to land them safely. He will then fall to the ground, where Un-jeong will use his telekinetic powers to slow his fall. Finally, Chae-ni will teleport the blimp, which is loaded with both the chemicals and a bomb, to a safe location. Then, when she teleports back, Un-jeong can slow her fall.

Everything goes according to plan, save for Chae-ni’s return. Every other time she has teleported, she has had to return to her original location. Un-jeong watches the sky, but she doesn’t return. Weeks later, Jeon-bok holds a funeral for her granddaughter. Tom Sawyer-style, Chae-ni shows up, grubby from the slow journey back from the base of Kilimanjaro, where she had teleported the exploding blimp. Her friends and family cry in relief.

Meanwhile, the entire town has forgotten the events of New Year’s Eve, which means they don’t understand how the town losers saved them. The only exception is Kyung-hoon’s daughter, Cheong, who was wearing headphones during Ju-ran’s mind-control and can remember the whole thing. After years of feeling like her dad only knows how to let her down, she sees him as a hero.
